High Performance
Current Mode Controllers
The UC3842A, UC3843A series of high performance fixed frequency
current mode controllers are specifically designed for off–line and dc–to–dc
converter applications offering the designer a cost effective solution with
minimal external components. These integrated circuits feature a trimmed
oscillator for precise duty cycle control, a temperature compensated
reference, high gain error amplifier, current sensing comparator, and a high
current totem pole output ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET.
Also included are protective features consisting of input and reference
undervoltage lockouts each with hysteresis, cycle–by–cycle current limiting,
programmable output deadtime, and a latch for single pulse metering.
These devices are available in an 8–pin dual–in–line plastic package as
well as the 14–pin plastic surface mount (SO–14). The SO–14 package has
separate power and ground pins for the totem pole output stage.
The UCX842A has UYLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and 10 V (off), ideally
suited for off–line converters. The UCX843A is tailored for lower voltage
applications having UVLO thresholds of 8.5 V (on) and 7.6 V (off).
